Simone Sedda

Item Description
This is a vintage mandolin manufactured in 1963 by Suzuki Violin Co., Ltd., a respected Japanese instrument maker. The instrument is model No. 206, showcasing the company’s characteristic craftsmanship and elegant design from the mid-20th century. Its teardrop-shaped body features a richly detailed inlay around the soundhole, a decorative tortoiseshell-style pickguard with abalone embellishment, and a finely carved metal tailpiece. The back of the body displays beautifully laminated woodwork in a traditional bowl-back style. One of the eight strings is missing, but the remaining seven are intact, free from rust, and still playable. The tuning pegs all turn smoothly, indicating the instrument is mechanically sound. Comes with its original hard case, which shows signs of wear but still provides sturdy protection. The hard case has a lock mechanism but no key is included. It can be closed, but it cannot be locked.
